The Truman Show (1998)
Director: Peter Weir Writer: Andrew Niccol Is this considered a “classic” yet? I love this movie so much, from the concept to the cast to the execution, I can’t think of how it could’ve been done better. Definitely one of … Continue reading

Cronos (1993)
Director: Guillermo del Toro Writer: Guillermo del Toro This is del Toro’s first film and my first time watching it. Definitely in his wheel house. Ancient devices, fantasy/supernatural element, blood, that’s del Toro all right! I enjoyed it, not as … Continue reading

Super 8 (2011)
Director: J.J. Abrams Writer: J.J. Abrams I like Abrams as a director and he comes up with great concepts but it seems like pretty much every story he works on they fall flat in the ending. Super 8 has a … Continue reading

Mike Birbiglia: Tales from My Secret Public Journal – What I Should Have Said Was Nothing (2008)
Writers: Mike Birbiglia & Joe Birbiglia Birbiglia is more storyteller than stand up I suppose. His stuff is certainly funny but all of his stuff is structured as a long form story. Funny stuff!
Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop (2011)
Director: Rodman Flender A pretty great behind the scenes look at the cross country tour Conan O’Brien went on after getting fired from The Tonight Show after less than a year. As a fan I was pretty mad that Conan, … Continue reading
